Performance style neck by martin

[KingIgneous]

Hey folks, a few months ago i got a martin 0-x1e brand new for around $450. Sounds great and the neck was unbelievable comfortable. I looked up on the site , what kind of neck shape it has - it said "performance style". My question is what neck profile is it in standard lettering (u,d,c,v,ect)?

Thank you in advance

If it mirrors the Performance necks on the Standard/Reimagined series, the profile is MLO (Modified Low Oval) - a kind of ‘C’ shape. ‘Performance’ refers to the FB taper, the increase in FB width from nut to body, which is less than on a standard taper.

Performing Artist Profile is a very shallow C depth the entire length of the neck.

If you have larger hands, this is not necessarily the best as you will be required to squeeze harder to make contact. I had two Martins with this neck...eventually sold them as it hurt my hand (I have medium large hands with skinny fingers).

I get “Safari cannot open the page because the server cannot be found” for both links, Jon.

That is the neck carve they used on the 17 series too. The neck on my 000-17 is very comfortable.
